Garry Mills (also Gary Mills) (born 13 October 1941 in West Wickham, Kent, England), was a British pop singer.[1]

Mills had three hits on the UK Singles Chart in the early 1960s.[2] Released on Top Rank Records in 1960, these were "Look for a Star" (charted at No 7) and "Top Teen Baby" (No. 24). "I'll Step Down", released on Decca in 1961, charted at No. 39.[2][3] In the United States, "Look for a Star" reached No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4]

"Look for a Star" also made the Hot 100 in versions by Deane Hawley, Billy Vaughn and Garry Miles, the latter a pseudonym for Buzz Cason.[1] The song, composed by Tony Hatch, appeared in the soundtrack to the horror film, Circus of Horrors (1960).[5]
